Pedri and Frenkie De Jong, both injured, hoped to be able to return in time to play the Champions League first leg against PSG. According to Marca, Barça should not take any risks and will not force their return in order to avoid relapses. Between them, they have missed 34 games, 19 games this season for Pedri and 15 for Frenkie De Jong.
“I will come back as soon as possible, but I don’t have a specific date or a specific match. I want to play the most important part of the season with my teammates because there are some great matches to come.” Pedri said last night. Barça will, however, be able to count on Ronald Araújo, back after thigh discomfort, and Christensen who did not play the last two matches due to pain in the Achilles tendon.
